SNVSCR4A July 2024 – October 2024 TLA431 , TLA432
PRODUCTION DATA
TLA431 requires an input resistance in this application to source the reference current (IREF) needed from this device to be in the proper operating regions while turing on. The actual voltage seen at the ref pin is VREF=VIN-IREF*RIN. Since IREF can be as high as 4µA, the recommendation is to use a resistance small enough that mitigate the error that IREF creates from VIN.
